Adjustments
Cutting Height
Each wheel has a height adjustment lever to change the cutting
height of the mower.
1. Depress height adjustment lever towards wheel.
2. Slide lever to desired position for a change in cutting
height. See Fig. 3-7.
3. Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the
height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will stop
scalping of grass.
